Bariloche Hut to Hut

Magellanica Guides connects 3 to 5 volcanoes in a brilliant off-piste skiing, -Out of Bounds-, in the Araucania region.

Late winter and spring are the ideal time for ski touring on the snow covered volcanoes of the Argentine/Chilean lakes district. We will spend nine days traveling, climbing and skiing pristine slopes, surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Andes.

Best time to go	August through October
Program length	Rango: 7 day
Activity level	MODERATE The Terrain: a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces (grass, sand, scree, snow). Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest— enough that you can dine later like royalty with a clear conscience. 1 to 3 ft waves/or 30 ͦsnow slopes, most of the time with a solid day-pack. The Traveller: “I go on a good walk once a week, and I don’t mind a little sweat—as long as it’s duly rewarded!” CHALLENGING The Terrain: 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges (boulder fields, snow/ice fields. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated. 6+ ft waves on sea or lakes and up to 40 ͦsnow slopes carrying a 34lbs pack approximately. The Traveller: “I hike quite regularly, and I want to have a good workout each day. I don’t want to miss the historical and cultural stuff, but I also don’t need to be at the spa by 4:00.”
